Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 809: Chapter 603: Making Plans—Mortars and Howitzers Pack a Punch

Li Yu talked about resolving the matter at Juzi Island, and everyone felt a cloud hovering over their heads.

The base had been discovered by people before, especially during the previous refugee outbreak, when many fled to the Big Camphor Tree Base.

If Li Yu hadn’t acted decisively and had enough strength himself, they might have been scattered by the refugees.

Second Uncle frowned deeply, and slowly said to Li Yu, ”Are you planning to take Ju Tianrui and his team with you?”

”Yes, they are more familiar with that area, and Ju Tianrui and Gan Shang’s group on Juzi Island don’t get along well,” Li Yu said.

”Do you think they can agree to kill Gan Shang and his people? I think this needs to be clarified in advance, or it will be troublesome once we get to Juzi Island,” Second Uncle pointed out a more practical concern.

He wasn’t worried about Ju Tianrui’s lack of strength but was concerned they might hesitate and fail to make a decisive move, ultimately dragging down Li Yu and his team.

Li Yu had naturally considered this issue and said to Second Uncle, ”I communicated with Ju Tianrui and his team a few days ago. Between the lines, it was made very clear that Ju Tianrui and his group don’t refuse.”

Second Uncle nodded slightly and said, ”That’s good.”

Then he remembered something and looked at Li Yu, ”Xiao Yu, are you planning to lead the team yourself over there?”

Li Yu hesitated for a moment. In this post-apocalyptic world, he had always been very cautious and didn’t want any mistakes that could lead to a reduction of his team.

So he always led the team himself or had Third Uncle take charge.

He sought for a strike to be decisive.

So he said, ”Yes, also I think Third Uncle can come with me, so we can first investigate what’s happening with the Western Alliance.”

Then he looked towards Third Uncle.

Third Uncle, sitting on a chair, nodded slightly and said, ”Sure, that’s not a big problem.”

After receiving the response from Third Uncle, Li Yu continued speaking to everyone, ”Let’s discuss the personnel arrangement next.”

”Third Uncle, do you have any suggestions?” Li Yu asked Third Uncle.

Third Uncle leaned forward and glanced around at everyone, ”According to Xiao Jun, there are over three hundred stationed at Juzi Island, plus a thousand refugees. If we roughly estimate the impact of this natural disaster on them and assume a twenty percent reduction, we’re still facing over two hundred enemies.

From the terrain, they’re on a river islet, 500 meters from the riverbank, with a Cross-river Bridge spanning it but not directly connected to the islet itself.

There’s only a tunnel leading into the islet, so close-quarters combat would be quite pressured since they all have guns.

So I suggest using heavy weapons this time, no need for tanks; an armored vehicle will suffice. The artillery on an armored vehicle is enough to meet our goals,

and when we get there, we’ll bombard from the opposite riverbank, wearing them down.

I’ve also privately studied the geography of Juzi Island; it’s surrounded by water. We know zombies often hide in the water, and besides the tunnel, they have nowhere to go.

In short, bomb them first, then send people to clear the battlefield.

Fast, simple, direct, and efficient.”

Li Yu heard Third Uncle’s idea and felt it was quite good.

This aligned with his ultimate goal: be as cautious as possible.

If long-range attacks are an option, he would opt for them.

Otherwise, why would he have traveled so far and risked bringing back tanks and armored vehicles?

Hence, Li Yu said, ”So according to your suggestion, how many armored vehicles would be enough?”

Third Uncle thought for a moment and said, ”We still have mortars, right? Just one armored vehicle will be enough; the mortar shells are plenty. We can bring six mortars and one armored vehicle, I think that’s sufficient.

As for personnel, Luo and Old Qin are very adept with any use, so I think we can take them along.”

Li Yu nodded and, after some thought, said, ”Alright, so apart from Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui’s team, we’ll deploy one more armored vehicle and six mortars.

In terms of personnel configuration, the following will go with us when we attack Juzi Island:

Dapao, Yang Tianlong, Li Tie, Li Gang, Old Qin with ten of his men, and Luo with ten of his. Third Uncle, do you have any other arrangements?”

Third Uncle nodded slightly and said, ”No need for too many people; we have a firepower advantage. And frankly, going back and forth consumes a lot of energy, like this armored vehicle; one round trip needs two thousand liters of diesel.

So I think, as for Ju Tianrui’s team, they need to find a way to solve their energy problem; otherwise, it’s also a huge burden for us.”

Li Yu naturally realized this issue and said, ”Understood, He Bing also mentioned this issue before. So I think besides armored vehicles and armored RVs, we can use more new energy vehicles. Our base has some new energy vehicles, with the longest driving range reaching a thousand kilometers.

Calculating it, going to Juzi Island is just 500 kilometers. Some electric vehicles can use battery swapping technology, so there’s no worry about running out of power and stalling.”

”This approach is feasible; if Zhou Ran and his team can create a Zombie Generator, we won’t need to worry about electricity. And with endless supply, we can’t exhaust it.”
